The Governor’s message was rooted in a stark disparity: while the federal government has committed roughly $7 billion to North Carolina since the 2024 storm, that figure represents only 12% of the estimated $60 billion in total damages. By contrast, Stein noted that major disasters like Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy saw federal coverage closer to 70%.
Organizaciones defensoras de inmigrantes y expertos legales advierten que esta postura choca con las protecciones de la Cuarta Enmienda de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos, que protege contra registros e incautaciones irrazonables.
Stevens has practiced law for over 30 years and has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2009– she’s currently serving on the House Election Law Committee. Her political and legal experience makes it all the more troubling that she could make such a mistake as she pursues a seat on the state’s highest court.
“Duke Energy’s proposed rate hike is simply too high and comes as the company is also retreating on more affordable clean energy. At a time when families are struggling to make ends meet, we should be doing everything we can to make life more affordable, not less. I will continue to fight on behalf of every North Carolinian to lower costs and grow the economy,” said Stein.
Ahead of the 2026 primaries, North Carolina Republicans are running their usual playbook: disenfranchising and suppressing Black voters. However, this time around, are not only facing gerrymandered maps, but new changes involving voting sites and days.
At “Cars and Coffee” events in Charlotte and Greensboro, the conversation has shifted from performance specs to the “tariff tax.”
My husband and I are small business owners, so we rely on the Affordable Care Act for health care coverage. We currently pay $400 per month for medical and dental care. But, because of Republicans’ refusal to fix the crisis they’ve created, our monthly medical health premium is expected to cost us 240% more in 2026. And my daughter, a Medicaid recipient, could lose coverage altogether.
“This groundbreaking investment will create more than 5,000 new jobs for North Carolinians and will strengthen our clean energy economy.”
Last week, Gov. Josh Stein restored funding for NC Medicaid– the program that helps provide affordable health coverage to over 3 million North Carolinians.
In the state General Assembly, Stevens led the charge to raise the mandatory judicial retirement age so that Newby could complete his term. Newby has since joined the slate of conservative judges to stump for her candidacy in the primary. His wife even personally gave $3,800 to Stevens’ campaign.
La Corte Suprema de Carolina del Norte continúa sin emitir un fallo en la histórica demandaLeandro sobre el financiamiento de las escuelas públicas, dejando el caso en el limbo más de 660 días después de que se escucharan los alegatos orales. La demora es inusual y se produce pese a que el tribunal ya publicó sus decisiones finales del año sin incluir este caso clave, que podría definir el futuro de la educación pública en el estado.
Over a year after Helene, many communities are still waiting for meaningful relief. At the center of that failure is Michael Whatley, a man who claimed influence, access, and authority but has delivered little and shown up even less.
Jackson’s office warned that losing the funding would force schools to shut down programs and could lead to layoffs in the middle of the school year. “Our kids deserve better,” Jackson said in a statement. “A surprise cut of nearly $50 million from rural schools, with virtually no notice and no allegation of misuse, is unlawful and harmful.”
As of January 1st, enhanced tax credits, a resource that provided financial assistance to individuals by lowering premiums for healthcare coverage in the Affordable Care Act marketplace, have expired. The consequences of this are that many North Carolinians will see their premiums spike significantly this year, lose coverage, or remain uninsured.
